Quotations regarding 'Minority'

Choose a letter: 
As far as I know, only a small minority of mathematicians, even of those with Platonist views, accept the idea that there may be mathematical facts which are true but unknowable.
Abraham Robinson, German Mathematician (1918-1974)
In the end, a small section of the crowd, maybe 2,000 to 3,000, turned against me. And that was it. Inside the club they know your best intentions, but the minority shout louder than the rest.
Bryan Robson, English Athlete (1957-  )
It is unnatural for a majority to rule, for a majority can seldom be organized and united for specific action, and a minority can.
Jean Jacques Rousseau, Swiss Philosopher (1712-1778)
A minority group has 'arrived' only when it has the right to produce some fools and scoundrels without the entire group paying for it.
Carl T. Rowan, American Journalist (1925-2000)
We raised almost 2 million dollars at the last golf tournament that can be used for minority scholarships and Junior Golf programs. The payoff for the work we do is so much more valuable than the work we actually do for it.
Darius Rucker, American Musician (1966-  )
Minority art, vernacular art, is marginal art. Only on the margins does growth occur.
Joanna Russ, American Writer (1937-  )
The Sixth Sense is not a good white film. Insomnia is not a good white film. They're just good films. So why we can't we have good films that happen to have black people, or Asian, or Latino, or any other minority group in them?
Eriq La Salle, American Actor (1962-  )
At the very top state institutions, like UCLA, Berkeley and the University of Texas, however, the trend of downward minority enrollment remains persistent and discouraging.
Adam Schiff, American Politician (1960-  )
To reduce this claim of slavery to an absurdity, it is only necessary to add that there are only two states in which slaves are a majority, and not one in which the slaveholders are not a very disproportionate minority.
William H. Seward, American Statesman (1801-1872)
I bring other constituencies - I also have ties to minority communities. And obviously, to the world of world-class research universities. So I can bring some constituencies that I'm used to working with.
Donna Shalala, American Public Servant (1941-  )
As for the future, we are equally determined to explore all possibilities of getting rid, once and for all, of the huge Arab minority which originally threatened us.
Moshe Sharett, Israeli Statesman (1894-1965)
The minority is sometimes right; the majority always wrong.
George Bernard Shaw, Irish Dramatist (1856-1950)
As a gay Jewish white South African, I belong to quite a lot of minority groups. You constantly have to question who you are, what you are and whether you have the courage to be who you are.
Antony Sher, South African Writer (1949-  )
We've got to help small businesses because they are the backbone of our economy. We've got to increase opportunities for everyone and we can do that by helping women and minority-owned businesses.
Rob Simmons, American Politician (1943-  )
For minority actors, developing our own projects has to be the eventual path. We have a lot of stories to tell and a really unique voice. But none of that is going to be heard as long as we're just the hired hands, acting.
Jimmy Smits, American Actor (1955-  )
The test of courage comes when we are in the minority. The test of tolerance comes when we are in the majority.
Ralph W. Sockman, American Leader
And I think that we in America need to understand that many schools need improvement, and particularly with respect to how they're serving minority children.
Margaret Spellings, American Public Servant (1957-  )
Clearly no one knows what leadership has gone undiscovered in women of all races, and in black and other minority men.
Gloria Steinem, American Activist (1934-  )
Democracy cannot survive without the guidance of a creative minority.
Harlan Stone, American Lawyer (1872-1946)
A virulent, aggressive minority has decided that Americans don't know themselves what it is they should see, and need to be protected by people who are wiser than they are, even if they are only a tiny sliver of the population.
Jock Sturges, American Photographer
